Auntie Esmie:
You are gone but will always be remembered. You were always a hasty
person and always willing to do something. If anyone would do anything too
slowly for you, you would call them eighty-ight, meaning slow.
This I would always remember you by and your sweet fun ways. You made
me laugh at times the way you would say things. I wish you were still here with
us. But God calls you to rest and He knows best, so rest on my aunt May God
bless you and keep you until that glorious day.

Aunt Esmie:
Whenever I saw you in the hospital I would shake my head and say a soft
prayer. You have suffered but our God knows everything. You left us in a calm
and quiet way. The remembrance of you will still remain with us, even though
we can't accept your quiet slipping away.
May God bless you until we meet again.
Rest in peace, Esmie.
